Thanks for all of your replys on the TT coinversion. After looking at the possible prices i've decided to stay with the normally aspirated engine. I was just wondering what are some of the parts and stuff i can get/do to get all the horsepower out of the normally aspirated engine that i possibly can. I'm still on somewhat of a budget so stuff like "boring it out" and stuff is still a distant upgrade.

the basic upgrade path would be, cone intake filter, then a good cat back exhaust, you can then look at a chipped ecu and or headers, maybe even cams if you feel frisky, the intake and exhaust can carry over to a turbo swap should you choose to do so later, the other stuff is a bit more work to install and is good for the n/A only

well if you are looking for cheap HP in a NA you may want to look into Nitrous. It has a bad rep, but can propell an NA when you need it.

Throttle trigger nitrous systems are a nice safeguard so you can't blow anything up. The purge valve scares the hell out of everyone

I love my nitrous, its an Ace in the hole if you respect it for its power
